I'm in a house with no Nat Gas, and we have an electric shower. We use the cylinder on Econ 7 to boil water - but this water is only used to wash up / wash hands after loo (and the kids dont use the hot, b/c it's too hot for them)...
So, I've got a couple of 3700 W (3.7KW) DAFI "under sink" tankless heaters. One for the kitchen, one for the bathroom.
So, connecting it to the consumer unit, I know they need to be on the RCD side, but want to check a few things before doing anything.
They'll have 20A DP switches (the bathroom switch will be outside the bathroom on the wall), and the kitchen one, next to the heater (the heater will be fitted above the sink to existing pipework - which will be cut etc)
Now, It'll be wired with 2.5mm twin & earth...
Where in the consumer unit should I connect this?
Can I spur off the Shower connection?... I've got a 32a breaker on the kitchen sockets (washer / kettle / microwave / freezer) - can I put the additional into this ring? (directly at the breaker)?....
In the bathroom, I did consider D/c the immersion heater and connecting the IWH instead (do away with the immersion cylinder ETC)... Any advise on this?... any one got a house without cylinder / boiler that relies only on IWH?
